EASA Drone Regulation

The EASA framework replaced national rules across the EU and introduced open, specific and certified risk categories based on the drone’s weight and proximity to populated areas. Buyers should confirm which category a given platform falls into, since that determines what an operator needs — registration, remote pilot competency, or a certified operator declaration. For public procurement, buyers increasingly require suppliers to confirm EASA compliance for their platform. UAVSale suppliers declare the applicable category on each product.
